Description: 1 videodisc (99 min.) : sound, black and white ; 4 3/4 in.
A terrifyingly prescient look at a nation, on the surface serene and at peace, in which organized crime and big business have somehow merged. All this is seen through the eyes of a young man (Cliff Robertson) bent on avenging the death of his father at the hands of "punks" who turn out to be ubiquitous and working on both sides of the law.
